first embodiment
[0039]Hereinafter, embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying diagrams. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a radiographic image capturing apparatus to which a breast type identification device according to the invention is applied, and FIG. 2 is a diagram of the radiographic image capturing apparatus as viewed from the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1. A radiographic image capturing apparatus 1 is a mammography apparatus that captures an image of a breast M that is a subject. As shown in FIG. 1, the radiographic image capturing apparatus 1 includes an imaging unit 10, a computer 2 connected to the imaging unit 10, and a display unit 3 and an input unit 4 connected to the computer 2.
[0040]The imaging unit 10 includes an arm unit 12. An imaging table 13 is attached to one end portion of the arm unit 12, and an irradiation unit 14 is attached to the other end portion so as to face the imaging table 13.
[0041]A radiation detector 15, such ...
second embodiment
[0084]Here, breasts classified into the high density type have uniform distribution of mammary gland tissues, and there is almost no mixture of fat. For this reason, it is difficult to detect a lesion based on the breast image G0. In the second embodiment, therefore, the image processing unit 38 performs image processing for emphasizing the contrast on the breast image G0 in a case where the breast type is identified as the high density type. In this manner, in a case where the breast type is identified as the high density type, it is possible to emphasize the contrast of the breast image G0 by performing image processing for emphasizing the contrast on the breast image. As described above, oversight of the lesion can be reduced by using the breast image G0 in which the contrast is emphasized.
[0085]On the other hand, in a case where the identified breast type is a fat type, the image processing unit 38 may increase the density (that is, make the breast image dark). As a result, it i...
